Would this have the possible balance shaft concerns? Don't recall if '05 would have had that. Anway, overpriced for what it is. Maybe $1k or so if you needed a beater SUV. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/

Dreaming on that ask for two cars that each apparently need significant mechanical work. If they are cosmetically very nice maybe half that at best depending on the repairs needed. Potato cam pics don't help make the case.

I have been driving my W116 300SD more since the E500 has the suspension issue. It's got a turbo and it's still slow. Especially the way the transmission wants to shift, which keeps the revs too low for the turbo to really start working. I end up shifting manually and using the kickdown switch
